Intentional Transformation – Who do You Want to Become?
Who do you want to become? Let’s talk Intentional Transformation! Purposefully looking ahead and becoming the you that you want to become. (TW: Emotional Abuse Mention) Intentional Transformation Lately, I’ve been thinking about “Who am I?” and “Who do I want to be?” At 27, it sounds a bit silly to think about who I want to be. As a teenager, you think that by the time you are almost 30 you would have it all figured out. You don’t think that you’ll become stuck in an emotionally abusive relationship at 22. Don’t think that your anxiety will get worse at 25. Don’t think that you’ll burn out of your…
Fighting Perfectionism – Becoming Okay with Being Human
Perfectionism is hard. It pushes us to strive for something that doesn’t exist. And it hurts. So how am I fighting this? Let me tell you. Fighting Perfectionism – Becoming Okay with Being Human Perfectionism is the striving for the utmost excellence, free from being wrong or failing, having no flaws. But it is also pain, because to be perfect is not in our nature. We are human. We make mistakes. Making mistakes is part of how we learn.

Why I don't Smudge
In New Age, metaphysical, and spiritual circles, you have probably come across the practice of smudging. Many people in these communities burn sage bundles, sometimes also called smudge sticks, and walk around their space or waft it over themselves. But did you know that more than likely isn’t smudging? Why I don’t Smudge Smudging is a specific practice used by multiple First Nations groups. One specific practice, as was taught to me by Saginaw-Chippewa tribal members (for educational understanding, not for the passing on of tradition), involves multiple herbs, burnt with specific intentions, bringing in spirits, and spoken with specific words. All of this varies based on the situation and…
Moving Beyond the Binary: My Experience with Masculine/Feminine Energy
This post is not to rail against people who prefer to label their personal energy using the feminine/masculine dichotomy. The intention of this post is to provide an alternative look on energy and present my reasoning for why I don’t subscribe to the binary. TW: mention of menstruation. Moving Beyond the Binary: My Experience with Masculine/Feminine Energy Energy is a part of everything. We, humans, have energy systems. So do plants, animals, cosmic bodies, the universe, spirits, etc. How we each feel and interact with those energies differ. As a cis-woman living in the culture of the United States, I was told (explicitly and implicitly) that I am worth less…
